title: Supramolecular control in carbohydrate epimerization: discovery of a new anion host-guest system.
abstract: A new anion-carbohydrate recognition system is described. Pyranosides with axial protons in 1-, 3-, and 5-position proved efficient, forming relatively strong complexes between the anion and the B-face of the carbohydrate. This system could furthermore be used in supramolecular control in Lattrell-Dax epimerization reactions, leading to either activation or deactivation effects.
